High and low hemoglobin suggest increased dementia risk

The researchers found that the individuals with the highest and lowest hemoglobin levels were most likely to receive a dementia diagnosis later on.

Participants were placed in one of 5 groups, ranging from the lowest hemoglobin levels to the highest.

Individuals in the group with the lowest hemoglobin levels were 16% more likely to develop dementia, while those with the highest hemoglobin levels had a 7% higher risk.

“The findings do not show that hemoglobin itself causes dementia, but suggest that abnormal hemoglobin
